Often a friend or a client will ask how to solve a particular business problem and I will have the right tool at their disposal which I have already used and tried. But if I have not been lucky to read about that tool or having used it, I might have not easily been able to offer a solution.<p>I'd love to find a place which has listed 100+ tools for different problems (marketing, project management, email, cloud storage, invoicing software, you name it) that I can browse and see what problems it solves.<p>Does anything come to mind? And besides Product Hunt, how do you stay up to date on new tools that can help you at work?
Slant[0] and StackShare[1] are probably your best bets. The former is better for desktop applications or utilties, the latter is better for frameworks and the like.<p>If you're looking for a specific niche, Product Hunt has a ton of curated lists that tend toward marketing/design. GitHub is probably a better source for curated lists which focus on things developers would find useful.<p>[0] <a href="https://slant.co" rel="nofollow">https://slant.co</a><p>[1] <a href="https://stackshare.io" rel="nofollow">https://stackshare.io</a>
Not for all problems but for some technical ones I use lovely curated awesome lists.<p><a href="https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome</a> is a good starting point.
<a href="http://alternativeto.net/" rel="nofollow">http://alternativeto.net/</a> is pretty good. You need to know one tool in the area you are looking for, but if you do it gives a good list of alternatives.
